Please imagine a crazy scientist saying the title of this blog, and you´ve got a good idea of my mission president. He cracks me up so bad. He´s possibly the funnies man on the planet. But basically that´s the goal. The goal is more than last time. Improvement. I dig it. So that´s what we did this week.
On Saturday, we went and visited pretty much everyone that we wanted to go to church on Sunday. Some of them were like, "yeah, we´re going!" So we shared something spiritual, reminded them that they were now committed with God to go, then left. The ones that we like... "uh... we´ll see...." we just barged into their house and shared a quick run down of what it means to sanctify the sabbath day. So that seemed to work well, because there we exactly 29 more people in church this week than last week, which is like dropping your 5k time a whole minute. It was great! And we have so many great investigators in church now!
Hogan and Vanessa are a couple that we´ve actually been looking for. Hogan´s dad always calls us and tells us to go teach his son. He´s a member from the USA, and really want´s his kid to get baptized. I know that the missionaries had taught them before, but we lost them. They moved, and we couldn´t find. In the end, they landed right next door to where they were before. haha, jokes on us. But they pretty much were dying to hear the missionaries. They expressed desires to get married and baptized and everything. Alright! That´s what I like to hear! :P And the best part was... they went to church! Yipee church! I love church! Especially when people go!
Moncha´s whole family went as well. They are progressing much better, and we found Franklin afterwards reading the Book of Mormon with his mom (who can´t see well enough to read), and explaining it to her verse by verse. He seems to be wanting to get married a lot more now. I think that he´s truly starting to repent in his heart. I love that whole family so much! We taught them in Salamaleco´s house after church, and Salamaleco really turned on his "most interesting man in the world mojo" on. He´s so funny. He´s like the only person in the galaxy who has seriously been involved in pretty much all religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, etc). He was born Catholic, and never renounced it ever, even though he like experimenting with other religious beliefs. He´s a big fan of Gandhi. But he explained to them that through reading the Book of Mormon like a mad-man, he´s 100% convinced that this truly is the very church of Jesus Christ (who was also a "revolutionary pacifist" as he says). And of course he slipped in the details that he knows Japanese and he´s reading the Book or Mormon in English as well. haha. I love all of these stinkin´ people!!!! Why do I love them so much!?!? I´m gonna explode!
Anyway... being a missionary is way cooler than whatever you´re doing. Unless you´re being a member missionary! Which is also awesome. (I consider Mother and Father among the member missionary work that we do).
I want to hear personal missionary experiences from all of you for my birthday. that´s it. but good ones!
I love you! (you know who you are... yes you)
